Inka Secret Blend Red Sampler - 3 Cigars

New to serious cigar smoking but this is possible the worst cigar I’ve smoked. Don’t know if I had a “bad one” or if they’re all like this. Poor flavour from the first puff. Hard to smoke at all really. Constant relighting. No taste whatsoever. Genuinely disappointing. Will not be buying again. Even to see if it was just a bad luck purchase. Reply from C.Gars

Hi David, thank you for getting in touch and for making us aware on the issue you experienced. I am so sorry you had a bad experience with one of our exclusive Inka cigars, itÂ’s very rare that one of our own cigars has any issues whatsoever, but due to the nature of a handmade product, there can be the odd imperfection which slips through the net. I have contacted you in regards to our no quibble replacement policy. I hope you receive my email and I can get this resolved for you.

Kind regards,
Georgina.

Not one of my favourites. I didnt find it to be soft and smooth like other cigars I have preferred, and I found it a little strong in terms of flavour. Burnt well but not one I would buy again.

Well, the cigar burned well and produced nice quantities of smoke. I wasn't hugely impressed by anything really, fairly one dimensional taste and aroma. Some sweetness and pleasing tastes but really I was quite pleased when it was finished. It has put me off buying large diameter cigars to be honest.

Having sat down in the garden and worked through this for 45 minutes last night I came to the conclusion that everybody who wonders why there is a premium for Cuban cigars should smoke one of these. Essentially it is a fine product and the only issue most people will have is cutting the end off (its 60 ring gauge!). Fortunately the cutter which was supplied with the order it (just) up to the task. Construction is excellent, holds its white ash very well and despite feeling well packed, has a good draw. The problem is that there is just no flavour to it whatsoever, smoked it down to the label and it sadly remained bland from start to finish. Shame really because in many ways this is a good cigar, just not one for me.

Having enjoyed the Tres Petit Corona I decided to give these a try and was somewhat disappointed. In comparison they are rather bland and "ordinary." Not a bad cigar by any means but I'll think twice about trying their larger vitolas.
